The Resurgence I
[I. Their faces]
In the year 80 AD, a race of Homunculi emerged, after having survived off the ashes of Pompeii, and the charred remains of the people who once lived there. In the years before its fall, they were beautiful, sacred spirits, inhabiting bodies like those of the Gods, born from witchcraft and alchemy. It was during this time, that the city of Pompeii was fully immersed in sin. These innocent creatures did not know any better, and so, they adopted the ways of man. They began to drink proudly. They talked loudly. They [REDACTED], with man, and with their own. Although they remained physically perfect, according to the Gods, their sanctity was forever stained. And so, they struck them down. Suddenly, and without mercy, they were purged in liquid fire. Or so they were meant to be. They were supposed to be purged and sent to the Underworld, but they did not die. They grew to hate their masters, and thrived on the hope to see them suffer. From this day forward, they would have no Gods. They would only have a God-shaped void, which can only be quenched by hate and violence. And who better to enact violence upon, than all those made in God's image? And so they waited, for centuries. They watched in the shadows as mankind grew, until mankind's hubris had reached its peak, in July 1st, 2007. They have been documented as an extinct species, hence their current name being "Resurgent Humanoids." or simply, "The Unpurged." They have beautiful faces, might I add.
